        Hi,
consider syncing more directories:

though that won't cover the settings stored in GSettings/D-Conf.

As long as the two Evolution versions are the same and you copy also
hidden directories (those with a leading dot), it should work.

One thing is the content of the folders on the disk (the files),
another thing is the folders.db content, whose information is used in
the message list. These things are synced on update.

Is there a file name mismatch? Verify the path and the difference in
it. It can be things after the ':' delimiter, which is close at the
end.
        Bye,
